    Nice 2012 that has almost everything I want:
    carbon seats
    carbon dash
    carbon bridge
    carbon steering wheel with LED's

    rosso/nero with 4000 miles

    2012 Ferrari 458 Base Coupe 2-Door | eBay


    Only thing that looks a little strange on the carfax is the car was listed for sale by the 2nd owner in October 2015 with 999 miles, and the 3rd owner from Michigan bought the car in Jan 2016 with 1800 miles and put on an additional 2000 miles by May 2016 when it was listed for sale again.....Michigan in the winter?? Maybe he tagged it in MI and kept it in FL. Or maybe I am overthinking.....

    Great spec and decent price.

    I always worry about buying from non Ferrari dealer to be honest, unless its CNC or Jeff at Motorcars Intl, etc.

    Get a PPI, and even then I would pay for an inspection to ensure no accident damage.

    Too much money to not be sure.

    I looked at that car prior to purchasing mine. It's on cars.com as well. PM me for more info. It's a good car.

    I wouldn't worry much about that. Had the issue once looking my self. I would get your own PPI from an authorized Ferrari dealer. Otherwise the car looks great.

    Agreed! A good PPI is worth its price.

    Car looks very well taken care of and good options. If PPI checks out, seems like a good solid deal.

    It has to have been maintained by a reputable dealer at the 1, 2 3, and 4 year point. I'm a little worried that it hasn't been driven. Does it have the original battery still in it? Just completed 2 year service on my 2015 which included a belt change and flush of the brake fluid among others. Also see the threat on what comes with a purchase of a 458 and inventory those items as they will eventualy determine the resale value based on a Concours evaluation
